FAQs: Learning Technology (NILE)

Q. How can I make an embedded object fill the whole content item?

Answer

Sometimes embed codes don’t produce the desired effect in NILE when they are pasted into a content item. Sometimes it is impossible to judge the height of the frame – you want 100%, but that isn’t possible – and the appearance of a vertical scroll bar can be particularly annoying!

It is possible to force an embedded object (an iframe, image or link) to fully fill the content item and re-size depending on the reader’s device. The example image shows a YouTube video and an image altered in this way and displayed on a smart phone – the content looks fine and will still be interactive.
